can you adjust rpm idle with that?

Please can you send website to go into depth with diagnostic

The event didn't register because the thermal load on the tip is not enough to cause a significant temperature change. A tip with a much smaller thermal mass should be used

my god, everything about the front panel is a blatant Keysight/Agilent ripoff

nothing can beat this at this price. dont waste money on the cheap yihua shit. get this instead if you want the work to be done

I have a cal cert from Keysight signed by Tina Chen, Quality Manager. Same signature. What a joke.

Shame the CIF stuff cannot be purchased locally, the french site doesnt really sell it its just a quote

First thing in here replace battery connector.

Hi Steve, I have the exact same fault, I'm certainly not going to pay the £400 that ford now want for the part. I'm going to dismantle mine at the weekend and have a look (Ford S-Max 2014) hopefully I can identify a problem at the plug. Do you know if its possible to replace the camera with an aftermarket camera and get it to work with the OEM park assist system?

nice tests.

Next review brand from forward theirs have many good hot air and solder station

How well is it for through hole parts with large ground planes? Like taking off components from ATX power supply pcb? You have a video on that?

That's the same DC jack as the TS100 Iron, ive been looking for it as well, no luck yet :(

Much as with voltage references, a working surviving older OCXO specimen typically outperforms a newer one.

Left button increases temperature but moves the menu cursor down? Both buttons have an up arrow? LOL I could never get used to that

Cool! They should make more stations that run on power bricks. Like 120W C245 model.

Hi, thank you very much for the amazing review! It agrees with my experience with a Pinecil v2 on large copper regions (which is not great). I was blaming my soldering skills. I have a question though. Do you know if Hakko T12/T15 cartridges do better? I mean both original ones and clone ones (you can put one into a pinecil or use a separate station). I also have a clone T12 station, and clone T12-K tip feels much better than a Pinecil one.

Great review, Steve. And a great bit of kit from Aixun, I'd be very happy to have it at my home workstation. Thanks for sharing.

I like how they are using a clone Apple charger. Also keep in mind that their are sometimes putting wights inside to make it feel like a genuine Apple USB-C charger.

I have Aixun t3as for few months and I am happy with it. I would like bigger sponge though.

Genuinely useful video, thanks!

Southchip Semicon SC8201QDER - Synchronous boost converter, 2.7 to 30V in, 2.7 to 36V out, 2A gate drive. For anyone wondering.

Normally I see the high current shielded style barrel connectors. Though this only needs 6A so its not crazy high. But this style should be cheaper to make. Odd nothing on LCSC like this I saw thats through hole.

Hi Can anyone please give me the size of the bottom steps i know the main mounting one is 76mm can anyone tell me the sizes other of the other ring diameters, so i can see if it will fit in my other stands, Thanks Dave

Thanks a lot for the review very appreciated. I have a question: have you misure some residual voltage in the tip during soldering? See you next

Thanks for the clip! Very nice technique! I'll be practicing!

This is really tempting as an upgrade for my TS80P

is there voltage at the tip?

It's a shame they didn't inset the USB and handpiece connectors. Every time someone pushes the station back to the wall, it's going to damage the connectors. It would have been such an easy feature to include.. sigh. 5:05

is it able to plug c115 handle? thanks for the review.

I’m just finishing my review. Did you spot the issue with external adapter and battery in that of both are connected you can’t turn it off. It just crashes. Also then if you remove the usb C and turn it off it turns its self back on. I have fed it back to them. Overall it’s a great iron

One thing I don’t understand is I thought the C210 tips can only do 20W ?

Thanks! Do you know the sequre s99 and s60p ?

👍👍👍👍

Pretty interesting soldering station there! I have invested too much in genuine JBC 245 tips now to seriously consider this I think, but it's very cool to see new stuff from Aixun.

Oh why oh why the F did they not support the T245 hand piece. Goes to show that no soldering station can seemingly be designed without at least one stupid avoidable design decision. No support for brass cleaner in the station. Battery powered devices like this should use external systems so users can opt for different sizes and quantities based on their needs. No sleep mode, no IEC mains supply. Seems very targeted to those playing with drone, UAVs,

But why the wifi on a soldering iron? i dont get it...

Because of the low cost of this and other similar units that don't have the reduced temp standby mode could it be that the materials used to construct the case and holder aren't suitable to be around high temps for extended periods? Turning the iron off is preferred over higher cost of materials when competing in the market.

I don't understand why the handle should be placed as shallow as possible in the cradle. You mentioned it prevents the heat from traveling back up the handle. Does heat obey the laws of reverse gravity?

I was screaming at the screen for you to switch from black&white to grayscale for 5 minutes. 😀 I guess that's one way to make the review more exciting.

You need to be a handy person when you buy chinese junk: flipping buttons, reseating connectors so they are at the correct spot etc...

I'm glad that AiXun is trying to build a brand, even if it's based on cloned JBC technology, but they could definitely improve the firmware. The arrow buttons here are likely a manufacturing error as the item photos show them pointing in opposite directions. This aspect needs QC attention. The pricing is weird as they want an extra 43USD for 2 extra tips. The marketing is also awful as the AE photos show that this station has "5G technology" for firmware updates and a "neural network control algorithm" for rapid heating. It's hard to stomach that level of stupidity and borders on fraud, even if it's actually just incompetently exuberant Chinese marketing. It also lists both WiFi and Bluetooth, but 1. there's no Bluetooth functions listed or needed, and 2. I have zero desire for my soldering station to be an IoT device connected to China ;). Over-the-air firmware updates are acceptable, I guess, but my experience suggests that these companies never improve their existing products, but instead invest all their effort into upcoming models. Existing customers seem meaningless to them except as potential buyers for their next model.

The included USB power supply is a ripoff of an Apple MacBook power supply, right down to the mechanical details. You should be able to find a UK adapter, or you can use either a polarized or non-polarized 2-conductor power cable plugged directly into the supply. Thanks for the review, well done as always.

1:42 FYI, that’s a Europlug, not Schuko. (Schuko is actually short for “Schutzkontakt”, or ‘protective contact’, referring to the PE contact. The Europlug is unearthed, and has thinner pins than Schuko.)

6:07 That charger is a knock-off Apple charger. Apple has used the same system of snap-on plugs and cords since introducing it in 2001. The plugs (which are officially called “duckheads”, no joke) and cords used to not be available separately, but are now orderable accessories. (Apple also sells the complete set of all duckheads as the World Travel Adapter Kit.) But you can also just slide a regular figure-8 (C8) power lead into it. It looks janky but is perfectly safe and reliable. In the real Apple chargers, the metal stud is the earth connection, used only on cords, not duck heads. (Smaller charger models use a plastic stud.) I wouldn’t count on the knockoff’s stud being connected to anything.

Theyre just shitting out statiins ehh haha. I have the t3a and t3b and my bext will be a metcal or rral jbc. Ali express is decent for gear like that but you cant get them to honor a warranty to save your life. They want a bbc narrated video documentary on every moment spent with a device. You jump through hoops and they still yellow dick ya. Ive been ripped off on ali so many times. The dispute option is just smoke and mirrors. The seller ultimately decides, its not like amazon or a reputable site. Your reviews are great. You must make a fortune on local buy and sell sites haha. I donate my old gear.

So they have the tech (in other stations) to detect the 3 types of cartridges but only support 2 and it's a special connector that isn't compatible with other Aixun Handles... Only a 2 cell LiPo so I'm guessing they are boosting the voltage (Power looses) to get the proper power in the cartridge too (all JBC tips being designed for 24v if i'm not mistaken) All of this is really weird and disappointing. I have a 420D station and it's lovely. Modified it quite a bit to fit my needs but the base station is solid so why not use the 420D controller with one less port and made for DC it doesn't make sense to me. (Of course it's more complicated than that but they already have a solid base to start with that's what I meant) Guess I'll have to modify one of these cheaper stations that take all 3 types to use a 6S Li Po and call it a day. Most of them use a switching PSU anyway so it's already DC

I wonder if a IEC-60320 C8 cabel (the figure 8/infinity connector) could fit into the power supply. That way you could still use it and don't have to have this big thing in a socket.

These flimsy crap produts made in china are worthless. Last year I bought a soldering station JBC BT-2BQA 140w for 225€, EU shop, warranty that will work if needed, quality construction light years ahead. Sure, double the price but 10x better than this toy garbage.

Hi SDG, I recently spent a lot of time watching your reviews to help pick out a new soldering station and hot air station (I went with Aixun T420D and Atten 862 hot air station) and noticed a lot of your newer videos aren't in your playlists. I think it would help others a lot if you could add more recent videos to their respective playlists when you have an opportunity. Thanks!
